One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

For a crew of four Yonko (Emperors of the Sea), this was clearly an incredibly shameful thing, but for those few days, the laughter of the Red-Haired Pirates echoed throughout the entire Elbaf.

In the end, it even attracted many of the Straw Hat crew members and the Titans of Elbaf to come over and celebrate together.

Although everyone had different goals for their celebrations, they all managed to quickly pull Elbaf out of the disappointment of losing to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

It was around that time that Crimson explored the entire city of Elbaf and naturally saw the ancient children's mural that Elbaf treasured.

The scene returns to this moment.

After Chi Hong's brief introduction, everyone's faces fell into deep thought.

Three worlds, three stories, yet all so inexplicable.

One can only say that perhaps speaking the truth directly in the pirate world hundreds of years ago would have violated the laws of the land.

So, things that could be explained in just a few words, whether recorded by various people, writers, prophets, or revolutionaries, all seem to speak as if they can't speak without deliberately making things mysterious.

This naturally makes it impossible for people in later generations to guess what the real history was like.

"The earth is reborn in flames, the forest is banished from its demons, the appointed day has arrived..."

"Red, do you remember Kaido's subordinate?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Usopp looked up and said to Red.

"You mean Ash, one of the Three Calamities?" Crimson answered in a question.

Usopp nodded: "That's right."

“I remember you once said that the Ash race seemed to possess the power to control fire, and that they even had a history of being called ‘gods’…”

"Do you think the First World described in the murals might be the period when that race ruled over humanity?!"

"The Lunaria?" A thoughtful glint flashed in his crimson eyes. "If it's them, it's quite possible!"

"This coincides with the murals in the secret chamber of the giants' castle!"

"Perhaps the Lunaria were one of the lunar people who once descended upon this planet."

"After they left, they used their immense power and technology to rule the entire human world."

"As for the forest exorcism mentioned in the Second World~"

Crimson gazes into the distance at the thick branches of the World Tree.

"In this world, there's probably nothing that represents the forest better than the World Tree, isn't there?"

"In other words, the ancient saying of 'forest exorcism' is actually the Devil Fruit born from the World Tree..."

"As for the so-called Third World, it should be the period we are in now, right?"

"Ugh! What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, Luffy, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, suddenly shouted.

He then scratched his head vigorously with both hands, looking troubled, and said:

"History, prophecy, it's all too complicated!"

"Anyway, Devil Fruits aren't important to us anymore, right, Red!?"

Why should we waste our time on this?

"We've got the last coordinates, let's hurry and set off to find ONE PIECE!!!"

Seeing Luffy's extremely troubled expression, Akame and the others abruptly stopped their discussion.

A glint flashed in his crimson eyes, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped.

He could certainly sense that Luffy wouldn't be bothered by his crewmates discussing history.

He must be feeling frustrated about a fate that has never truly occurred to him, yet has already been predetermined!

From the moment he set sail, Luffy had already decided to become the freest person in the world.

But as their knowledge grew and they came into contact with deeper aspects of the world, numerous signs emerged indicating...

Many things about Luffy have already been foretold by prophecy, and if it weren't for the appearance of Red, he would have gone from being a "free man" to a "free man controlled by fate"!

How could Luffy not feel annoyed by something that went against his original intentions?

He realized that everything he did was of his own will, but he discovered that all his will had already been written into the prophecy.

Miraculously, he ate the Nika Fruit, which was disguised as the Gum-Gum Fruit. Under Shanks' influence, he inexplicably developed the idea of ​​becoming a pirate and coincidentally gained a companion who could interpret the Poneglyphs and understand the Void Century...

Awakening the power of Nika, liberating Wano Country, and becoming the antithesis of the World Government...

Although many things here did not go as predicted because of Red's appearance, Luffy had heard Red talk about many things he had foreseen long ago.

Luffy wasn't completely without thought.

He and his companions could imagine that if it weren't for the appearance of the crimson figure, everything above it would have come true as the prophecy had foretold!

Pirates who aim for "freedom" are being bound by the shackles of "fate," which goes against Luffy's original intentions!

"Well, when it comes to history and stuff, it's really lame."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Crimson suddenly had the same idea as if he were playing a murder mystery game. He smiled and said:

"No matter how amazing and interesting things have happened in this world, they seem insignificant in the face of our current power."

Earthquake? Tsunami? Or torrential rain?

"Whether we destroy the world or save it, it seems to be just a matter of time, doesn't it?"

"It's more suitable for us to create the future than to explore history!"

"That's right!"

Zoro, who had not participated in the discussion until now, suddenly spoke up at this moment, expressing his strong support for Red's idea.

History? It's all things that have already happened.

Now that the incident has already occurred, what good will their in-depth investigation bring them?

They would be better off using that time to cultivate themselves!

Of all the people, only Robin, the archaeologist, was truly interested in this period of history.

However, as the Straw Hat crew's horizons broadened, Robin's thinking naturally expanded beyond the mere Void Century.

Rather than exploring the history of human society, Robin is more interested in investigating things from far more ancient times.

For example, why did so many races arise in this world? Why did some races become extinct while others have survived to this day? Why did a world that was once a continent suddenly become an ocean?

These histories belonging to this planet are one of the things Robin really wants to know now.

Why is it said to be one of them?

Because compared to a mere planet, the past of the vast universe is what Robin is more curious about.

Before anyone knew it, Robin had already transformed from a literary archaeologist into a cosmic archaeologist who gazes at the stars!

Compared to these things, a mere hundred years is nothing; whatever happened in between seems insignificant.

Soon, led by Luffy and Red, the topic of conversation suddenly shifted.

"Nami, we've found the last road sign. Does that mean we can pinpoint the location of Laugh Tale, the final island?"

“Of course!” Nami smiled mischievously. “In fact, while you were just discussing historical events, I had already successfully located Laugh Tale.”

"I just didn't interrupt you because you were having such a lively discussion."

"What!? You've already found the final island!?"

This time, it was the Straw Hat crew's turn to be amazed by Nami's efficiency.

In any case, the final island holds great significance for this world or this era.

Even the current members of the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't help but be shocked.

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get going!"

Luffy stood up abruptly, his two big round eyes shining brightly.

"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say, Captain!"

Nami's smile remained unchanged, then she suddenly snapped her fingers.

The next moment, the Merry, which had somehow arrived near the island cloud area, slowly rose from below the island cloud and emerged.

Because the current Merry is too large, far beyond what Vegapunk's temporary island cloud region can accommodate, the Merry had been docked in Elbaf for some time.

Her sudden appearance now clearly indicates that she had prior contact with Nami.

Good morning, everyone!

"I heard someone say the word 'departure'?"

The already elegant and even somewhat charming Going Merry suddenly appeared, sitting on the railing and looking down at everyone.

"Merry!"

Upon seeing Merry, Luffy instantly became even more excited.

He then went on to achieve a double victory, a triple blessing, and a quadruple celebration...

Suddenly, Luffy stretched out one arm and grabbed the railing of the Going Merry, while his other arm, like a nimble little snake, wrapped around everyone.

At this moment, the Straw Hat crew, who were familiar with Luffy's actions, naturally guessed what he was going to do, and their faces immediately turned ugly.

With Luffy's current strength, he is capable of leaving no chance for anyone to react.

Whoosh! ! !

The next instant, the Straw Hat crew, wrapped in Luffy's arm, were instantly taken to the air.

At the same time, Luffy also had a big, grinning expression on his face.

"Merry, let's set sail!!!"

"Yes, Captain!!!"

Rumble rumble rumble...

The colossal warship, the Merry, suddenly started up, and set sail quickly, as if galloping through a sea of ​​clouds.

The endless energy from the Mother Flame provided the Merry with terrifying power.
